You should go full accountant on her. 10% of profits or revenue? What about cash flow, massage the numbers a bit and present her a spread sheet to your liking. No accounting fraud needs to be involved


It’s not that easy. The church teaches that if you give your “first fruits” - ie gross before taxes - that no matter what or even if the numbers don’t add up, “God will provide”.

That means before getting out of debt, saving, paying your rent etc.

Dave Ramsey - a popular “financial guru” - is very opposed to debt of any kind except mortgage debt. But he’s also a fundamentalist Christian. He tells people that you should give 10% of your gross to your church (not his organization) even if you are struggling to get out of debt.

The church is very adamant about it.

I’m not here to debate theology. I’m just letting you know about the RFC for Christianity.


Yeah that’s tough, glad you have it sort of sorted out
